Well it's going to be 48 today and it's windy, so I wouldn't want to start doing anything plus if I start the swap i have to finish it in 2 days or so

KMO43

I've done in less than 5 hours

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Yeah it might take me that or a bit more since I've never done a swap before

KMO43

I've done the swap 4 time so far

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Lol yeah ill just say I'll do it in 2 days

KMO43

The first one i did took 2 days and the 7163 took me 2 days because it's not a zfr and i had to fab up some stuff and clock the turbo

i think it took me around 8 hours to do the k04r swap, it wasn't too bad really i was just inexperienced working on the car so it was a learning curve. bring a buddy and some beer.
make sure you have
-coolant
-banjo bolt washers
-turbo gasket
-penetrating oil
-torque wrench
-oil to top up what drains out

Yeah that's what I was going to be asking what other parts I needed to do the swap. Where can I get the banjo bolt washers? Any particular size I need to use?

Well the swap I'll be doing myself more than likely, maybe I'll ask a friend or let's see if Jesse wants to give me a hand lol

Coolant Banjo Washers - 12626102 (3 are needed)
Turbo Oil Return Gasket - 12589435
Turbo Mounting Gasket - 12618586


this is a great write up and you can follow it pretty closely in the removal part, you do not need to take the exhaust manifold off as you will not be running into the issues with the turbo not fitting on correctly. the turbo and the 02 housing can and should come out and can go back in as a unit and i would suggest doing so.

gaskets?

seriously?

lulz...

ok so I might develop a leak at some point - so be it.

lol

KMO43

I've re used mine like 5x now. 3x to replace leaking exhaust gaskets(manifold to turbo and head to manifold), one for k04r, and again when stock k04 went back in, haven't had issues yet

...and here I thought I was the only cheapskate!

good to know that I am not!

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Lol I think we all are cheap at some point, I would just get a new ones for peace of mind

KMO43

Mine leaked for a bit i tightened them and eventually it went away

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

I gotta check my exhaust I know I have a leak somewhere

nathan112i

in all honesty i didnt use new banjo bolt washers but it bit me in the ass when was meeting up with kevin in kelowna haha

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Lol I'll just get them

KMO43

I can't believe that leak started basically when you arrived

Jn2

iTrader: (1)

I had that issue with one of the coolant ones remember, tightened it and it went away

nathan112i
